Menion, could you give us some explaination on how to use field notes. I made field notes for several caches without posting to GC.com but now that I am home I can't figure out how to post  them to GC.com through Locus. Also explain how to log them directly without uploading a field note.
Thank you.

Hi,
  sure ...

  when you create field notes, they're all store in Locus/gcFieldNotes.txt file. So you can simply upload this file into your geocaching account on web manually, or you may use (if you have last Locus Pro) Geocaching Live service (in menu > functions) and upload them by Locus directly.

  since new version (maybe new release today?) you'll be able to log your cache directly

Wow-thanks. Just tried new version of pro. Much clearer now. I was able to directly log a cache!!! And save logs offline to post later. Fantastic!

I went out caching today and completed 2 caches with Locus.

I created a Field Note and could immediately log it online through Locus.
The second one I created the Field Note, just saved it and afterwards (2 hours later) added more info to the Field Note and directly logged it through Locus then.

This is really great! Thanks a lot for adding these features!

I do have one remark/bug..
My Field Notes format is always

#NumberOfCache
some text
TFTC

so multiple lines

but when I log this Field Note directly with Locus it results in

#NumberOfCache some text TFTC

as you can see the linebreaks are gone
I hope this is an easy fix

btw. I also used the navigation functionality for the first time and it is working very nice!
I selected the cache as end point for on road navigation and it guided me to a road near the cache.
I will be playing more with this somewhere in the future.

Thanks for continuing to improve this great app!

testing version in first post. Read, install, test and please, report if any issues

wvb: issue should be fixed in this version. I tested it and uploading Field Notes with break lines, works correctly (direct publish wasn't tested)

[wvb]

thanks a lot menion!!

downloading now and hope to test it tomorrow in the field

btw. there are strange things going on with Tapatalk.. it shows new posts put when I open the post it shows no text
has been like this all day and yesterday too (I think)

[menion]

I know I know ... I have to solve it tomorrow. Reinstall of forum skin or tapatalk plugin do not help for now, unfortunately

[wvb]

no stress

Hi menion,
I tested today but the FN still showed up on one line on GC.com.

I opened the cache, clicked on FN, it automatically fills in the number, I save it offline
10 minutes later I reopened the FN, added more info and logged directly.

The right panel isn't showing up when double tapping.
and by the way, nice theme modification.

[menion]

sorry meinea ... i forget to change my testing mode so by default in testing version is enabled Google like tapping style ...

check menu > settings > global > the style map control ... where you can also read ways of control

[meinea]

Actual I did notice that ... and when I double tap the bottom and top panels appear, but the right panel doesn't, and I have an older pro version and it's O.K

[menion]

ah so mistake, thank you, I'll look on it at morning , perfect ...

[menion]

hmm it's weird. For me, all works correctly with old and also with new system. Do you have at least one button on right panel in testing version?

[wvb]

Hi menion,

I logged another cache directly through Locus but linebreaks are not transferred with the latest Test version.
